Corollory: Fuck you, Mohammad bin Sulayem.

They do. It’s called a tail number.

It’ll just re-open under a slightly different name two days later.

PolitiFact says: I mean, yeah, I guess... technically we’ve got to give him that one. Deploying nuclear weapons across Michigan would, indeed, destroy the auto industry. Just as it would destroy every other industry at the same time.

It is likely ~5-15 years old. First revenue service in 2007. the 737-900ER was not a popular aircraft, with only 505 built, plus 52 non ER 737-900s before that - first of those 52 in 2001. This airplane is an ER per the flightradar link.

Yeah, I would. Violence is the last resort of the incompetent. That you don’t see Democrats calling for assassinations of their political opponents speaks volumes.

Point me to a lefty multi-billionaire who threatens personal violence against the president, and I’ll hate that guy, too.

The connections with Beijing and (alleged) private calls with Putin should have been more red flags than a May Day parade.

Comb the desert, you say?

I don’t know if that’ll buff out...

Coincidence or not: Chris Harris and one of his Top Gear co-hosts signed to produce a “Road Trip” series earlier in 2024.... I bet he’s just looking for some media spotlight ahead of their return... what better way to get attention than to start a feud with Clarkson, since they appear to be about to rip-off TGT...

First Gear: For the love of god, Tesla (and Waymo and the rest), stop forcing the public to participate in your half-baked experiments against their will.

It’s real weird to for two people to confidently pontificate about an event that happened a decade and a half ago, which neither of them witnessed, on a TV show that neither of them were involved with at the time.

It was always about dollars spent, not miles flown. These are loyalty programs aimed at cultivating dedicated customers. The amount of money they expect to get from their “frequent fliers” is *at minimum* $1 greater than whatever they give back in return. Minus the advertisement budget. If they thought for one second…

The thing about documents is that they’re written, not uttered.

I loved my Miata, but after a many years, I’ve pretty much mastered it and I find myself looking at V8 Vantages and Corvettes with an increasingly lustful eye.

If these tech bros want to do their unsafe experiments on an unsuspecting public, I should be able to use them as subjects for *my* experiments whenever I want. After all, Phase I clinical trials are awfully expensive.

“What is the actual benefit here?” covers ALL of their self-driving features and really anybody’s Level 2 autonomous drive features. I don’t care how relatively good one make’s L2 is vs. someone else’s. If it’s L2... it’s crap. YOU are always the final backup. The failsafe. The one liable if something goes wrong. You…

the thing I remember from first gen iphone was no GPS, the technology was there and it was a blatant hold back for the next version...
